problem might be sorted

ok so after hours of testing i think i might have sortd my problem while playing pes2020 on my 4k tv downstairs on wifi game played so so smooth but when i put it upstairs game feels terrible i tried anti bufferbloat off was the same but then i tried removing my ps4 from the filtering on the geo filter and boom players had a response game feels so much smoother i dont know if it is because i had too many restrictions on like anti-bufferbloat and duma os games on at the same time or because the game is p2p but removing my ps4 from the filtering on the geo filter seemed to do the trick

  • Are you playing on WiFi upstairs? If so it sounds like upstairs there is more WiFi congestion. The fact it differed so much just by changing rooms doesn't indicate a settings issue but as long as you're having a good experience that is all that matters.

      No wired upstairs always wired just tried WiFi downstairs just to see and yeah it seems weird I just didn’t know what to do to fix it because the WiFi worked much faster than my wired connection always has just wish I knew what the problem is/was like I say not an expert just don’t know how to pinpoint the problem

        It could be the cable then in that case, I would try doing a ping when connected via the ethernet cable and then another when connected to the WiFi and see if there is a difference.
